Input shaft with bearings in place.
Tighten the grub screw whilst applying pressure to squeeze the
two halves together.
To get the perfect setting and eliminate any play in this vital area you need to loosely join the CVD shaft to
the input-shaft and place them into one half of the gearbox housing. Clamp the two metal parts together
so you’re pushing the CVD and input shaft together and squeezing the bearings against the plastic divider.
Carefully tighten the grub screw on the CVD part of the assembly whilst applying the pressure and test the
input shaft for movement again.
Tighten the gearbox screws TIGHT to help clamp the bearings. With an improper setting the input shaft will be able to rock up
& down slightly – it’s hard to detect with the full driveshaft in
place.
Adjusting the amount of pressure applied during tightening will vary the
setting – when you get it right the shaft should be firmly set and free
from any play. If you apply too much pressure you might find the
bearings binding slightly, so try again. The perfect setting should see
minimal binding of the bearings but a totally rock-steady shaft.
Your gearbox should now be ready for the track – time to build the
other one the same!

I will just add a picture of the inside.
How much oil you put in.
To see the exact level because on the manual it s not really clear.
